Indulge in a luscious no-bake dessert combining a crunchy Oreo or pecan crust, creamy caramel‑cheesecake filling, and a decadent crown of caramel drizzle, chocolate, whipped cream, and crunchy pecans.

  • Total Time: 5 hours
  • Yield: 8–10 slices

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs or ground pecans

1/4 cup melted butter

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 cup heavy whipping cream (plus extra for topping if desired)

1/3 cup thick caramel sauce or dulce de leche

1 tsp vanilla extract

Chocolate syrup or homemade ganache, for topping

Whipped cream, for topping

Toasted pecans, for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust by mixing Oreo crumbs or ground pecans with melted butter. Press into a 9″ pie plate and chill to set.
  2. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, caramel sauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
  4. Spread the filling evenly into the prepared crust and smooth the top.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours or overnight until the filling is firm.
  6. Before serving, drizzle the pie with caramel and chocolate, pipe or dollop whipped cream on top, and sprinkle with toasted pecans.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free cookies or a pecan crust for a gluten-free option.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 7 days.
  • Can be frozen for up to 3 months—wrap tightly and thaw in the fridge before serving.
  • Homemade whipped cream gives a richer texture, but Cool Whip can be used for convenience.
  • Add extra toppings like ganache, candied pecans, or chocolate chips for variation.
